"He
was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the
chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are
healed."
(Isaiah 53:5)

I
RECEIVED A HEALING MIRACLE FROM JESUS CHRIST

I
WAS HEALED OF AN ABNORMAL HIP

For
years I had an abnormal hip - then Jesus healed me

In
early June 2003, Pastor Max Solbrekken came to our Church (People's
Church) to preach and pray for people to be healed.

We
were new Christians and I had wanted to go to see him twice before, but
was afraid. This time the pain was throbbing so badly, I didn't even
hesitate and walked right to the altar when the invitation for healing was
given! It was as if someone pushed me up to get me going for prayer.

For
as long as I can remember, I had one hip higher than the other. For many
years, it gave me a lot of pain and I went through a lot of pain pills and
many trips to doctors and chiropractors. I was told that the only cure was
an operation, but I had heard too many horror stories of failed surgeries
to try it! Doctors blamed my condition on the fact that when my children
were small, I carried them on my hip, because we were poor and couldnít
afford a stroller.

When Pastor Max laid his
hands on me, my knees buckled and the pain was gone! It was like something
was thrown out of me. I was so happy, I was crying and trembling inside.

My husband didnít know
what to say. He didnít believe until I showed him that the lump in my
back (hip) was gone. Both of my hips are fine and level. Being a Christian
is exciting and being healed is awesome.

I had no doubt that I
would be healed when Pastor Max Solbrekken prayed for me because the
Lord was right there with him! We give God the glory and praise.

Joe McCabe states: I was
a skeptic until I saw Bonnieís hips normalize and the lump was gone from
her back. I used to rub her back every day because of the pain. Now, she
is totally well and pain-free. Jesus is real and he healed Bonnie's hips.

BIBLE
VERSE CAN CURE
SICKNESS & DISEASEby:
Pastor Max Solbekken, D.D.

GOD'S
HEALING COVENANT

"And
said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God,
and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his
commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases
upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I AM the LORD that
healeth thee." (Exodus 15:26)

NONE OF THESE
DISEASES

One of the
most helpful books in print today is the classic, 'None of These Diseases'
by Dr. S.I. McMillan.

The author,
Dr. S.I. McMillan, a prominent medical doctor uses humor, common sense and
a biblical perspective, in dealing with the causes and cures of today's
diseases.

"It is
lamentable that peace does not come in capsules", he utters in
failure as he remembers the thousands of patients who left his office with
"nothing but a prescription for a bottle of pills that would only
relieve the symptoms of their illness but not attack the diseases.

The good
doctor laments that he now wishes he had rather prescribed his book, 'None
of These Diseases', so that a permanent cure could have been affected!
According to Medical Science, between 60 and 100% of all diseases are
caused by nervous tension, emotional stress and strain.

Dr. McMillan
states that emotions such as fear, sorrow, envy, resentment and hatred are
responsible for the majority of our sicknesses and diseases. And
that emotional stress can cause high blood pressure, toxic goiter,
arthritis, migraine headaches, apoplexy, heart trouble, gastro-intestinal
ulcers and other serious illnesses and diseases.

And recently
(about 1996) the American Medical Association released the findings of a
nation-wide survey of tens of thousands of their medics. One of the
questions dealt with their success ratio in treating patients. The
answer is shocking - Only 10% of patients had received any lasting help
through their medical procedures.

MEDICAL SCIENCE HISTORY RESTS ON SHAKY
FOUNDATION

Having any
problems with falling hair? What do you do to cover up that bald
spot and receding hairline?

Probably the
only solution is to massage your head, comb your hair forward, get a
toupee or just simply let it fall.

CRAZY CURES
FOR DISEASES 3500 YEARS AGO

If you had
lived about 3500 years ago you would have gotten very different advice -
not from a therapist but from your physician.

He would have
quoted from the famous medical authority of that day, Papyrus Ebers.

"When it
falls out, one remedy is to apply a mixture of six fats, namely those of
the horse, the hippopotamus, the crocodile, the cat, the snake and the
ibex. To strengthen it, anoint with the tooth of a donkey crushed in
honey."

The Papyrus
Ebers was published about 1552 BC and occupied a dominant position in the
ancient medical world and was one of the leading guides for practicing
physicians for a long time.

There are
literally hundreds of remedies for diseases in this book, such as lizard's
blood, swine's teeth, putrid meat, stinking fat, moisture from pig's ears,
milk goose grease, asses hooves, animal fat from various sources, excrete
from animals, including human beings, donkeys, antelopes, dogs, cats and
even flies.

THROUGH
MOSES, GOD MADE HIS HEALING COVENANT WITH THE JEWISH NATION

Moses was born
about the time the 'Papyrus Ebers' was written in Egypt. He was
educated in their highest schools of learning - scholars think he was also
a physician - as the son of Pharaoh's daughter.

But when God
called Moses to lead His people out of Egyptian bondage, he did not borrow
from the "occultist clap-trap" in their medical books of disease
remedies. He rejected the highest, most respected medical authority
of that day.

Moses'
directive was "Heed the voice of God, do right, obey His
commandments, keep His statutes and I will heal you".

God did not
borrow medical advice from the 'Papyrus Ebers'. His advice to Moses was
contrary to the most highly respected medical thought of that day.

THE CHURCH
WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN STOPPING THE BLACK DEATH DISEASE

Millions of
Europeans died of the disease Leprosy for hundreds of years. Some
physicians thought the cause of the disease Leprosy was eating hot food or
the meat of diseased hogs. Others blamed the disease Leprosy on
malign conjunction of the planets.

Approximately
60 million people died from the BLACK DEATH disease in the 14th century.
Dr. George Rosen of Columbia University writes: "Leadership was taken
by the Church, as the physicians had nothing to offer. The Church
took as its guiding principal the concept of contagion as embodied in the
Old Testament.

DISEASE OF
LEPROSY - PEOPLE AFFLICTED WITH THIS DISEASE WERE QUARANTINE

"Once the
condition of leprosy has been established, the patient was to be
segregated and excluded from the community...it accomplished the first
great feat...in methodical eradication of disease."

Possibly, the
Church needs to investigate measures to insure that the AIDS epidemic does
not leap from high risk groups to the general population, since
governmental and medical bodes are again "doing nothing".

For centuries
in Europe, multitudes perished from deadly diseases because of improper
hygiene, sanitation and sloppy hospitals. In many villages, human
excrement and waste was dumped into the streets, bringing deadly diseases,
creating epidemics of typhoid, cholera and dysentery.

GOD HAD GIVEN
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BURYING OF WASTES 3500 YEARS AGO

The solution
to the problem that was causing these deadly diseases, the burying of
wastes, had been given by God 3500 years before (in Deuteronomy 23:12-13).

Dr. Semmelveis
was not applauded by the Medical Profession. However, he was
ridiculed by his peers, discredited, lost his position and eventually
succumbed to the pressure, dying in a mental hospital.

Moses had
given the same advice many centuries before (in Numbers 19). If
wasn't until 1878 that the method of cleaning hands and instruments was
introduced by men like John Tyendall, Louis Pasteur and Sir Joseph Lister
that the mortality rate began to drop.

The New York
State Department of Health, in 1960, issued a book describing a method of
washing the hands very similar to that found the BIBLE - Numbers Chapter
19.

JOHN WESLEY,
FOUNDER OF THE METHODIST CHURCH DECLARED IT WAS GOD'S WILL FOR MIRACLES TO
BE IN THE CHURCH, BUT THE MIRACLES HAD BEEN LOST DUE TO UNBELIEF

It's
interesting to note that John Wesley - founder of the Methodist Church
declared that it is God's will for miracles to be in the Church, for the
entire Church age, but have been lost to the church because of UNBELIEF.

He further
stated, "The only method of physics employed by the Early Church for
the first 400 years, was the prayer of faith."

Medical
science has come a long way since Papyrus Ebers was published in 1552, BC
and even since the 1840's in Vienna, but I still think that when your
family physician advises you to get a second or third opinion about an
operation, its a good idea.

Now if anyone
wants to try the remedy for falling hair, don't let me discourage you. But
then where would you find a hippopotamus these days?

As for me and
my house, we will Trust the Lord and serve Him only!

WHAT
IS THE KEY to receiving
healing, miracles and answers to Prayer?By:
Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.

SEEKING GOD IN PRAYER, PRAISE, WORSHIP AND EXPECTANT FAITH

The
key to
receiving miracles and answers to prayers in found in seeking God in
prayer, praise, worship and having expectant faith. Unfailing faith that
God will answer your prayers and expect a miracle.I
believe that a major key to miraculous healing miracles can be found
in the steadfast faith, steadfast godly lifestyle and exemplary Christian
testimony.

Questions:
Dr. Wagenaar, will you tell us what your position is in the field of
science?

Answers:"I have been medical superintendent in the
Orchidee Hospital, Hilversum, for the last six years. Before that I was a
family doctor for 23 years in Dordrecht."

Questions:
Do you believe in
miracles of healing?

Answers:
"Of course! In my practice as a family doctor I have seen many
miracles take place."

Questions:When is healing
a miracle?

Answers:"When it is not the result of medical
treatment."

Questions:Can a miracle not be
explained away psychologically?

Answers:"No, that is not to be thought of. Just
as you cannot explain away the miracles of the New Testament.

"Every
physician knows that spontaneous miracles do occur. You will be interested
to know that spontaneous hearings have even been reported in patients who
suffer from cancer. This has been publicized several times in medical
journals. Medical science has admitted that miracles do occur after the
prayer of faith."

Questions:You said that you have
seen miracles occur in your practice. Could you give us an example?

Answers:"Yes, in Dordrecht I had a very busy practice.
A family doctor in the course of his practice meets many people who are in
urgent need of medical help and he does all he can to help them.

"I
will tell you about one patient. He used to play music in bars and was
inclined to treat life lightly. He needed an operation and I gave him a
card for the hospital. But before he was to be operated on I asked him to
go with me to one of Ev. Johan Maasbach's big meetings. He agreed and,
during the meeting, concentrated on God. When he went later to check in
for the operation the surgeon said, You can go home, we are not going to
operate on you, you are totally healed!"

Questions:Have you advised other
people too to go to Johan Maasbach's meetings?

Answers:"Yes, many! Generally after an
introductory talk and often after I have spoken to one of the elders of
the church; I asked the elder to visit my patient and, so to speak, break
the ice. I know that Br. Maasbach sends the patient on to the Heavenly
Doctor who can do more than all the branches of science combined.

"Over
and above those I have mentioned I have sent many others to Br. Maasbach
after they had been to consult me. I have seen them saved in the meeting
and healed as well. I am so glad that in this time when one church after
another is being broken down there are still people who let their voices
be heard more than ever. We urgently need more men like Johan Maasbach.

He
is a man who has preached for many years that sickness usually comes from
within - from the heart of man - and is often the result of hate, envy,
grudges and bitterness. Now medical science too admits that many diseases
are a result of inner tensions!"

Questions:You believe then that
Br. Maasbach is not being medically irresponsible in what he preaches?

Answers:
"No indeed! He preaches that people who come
forward for healing must bring not only their sins but also their cares
and all their inner problems to God. That is a healing truth. That is
biblical truth."

Questions:How did you yourself
come to faith in Christ?

Answers:"I will tell you! When I was a young man of 23
1 almost drowned. I was trying to save a woman who had fallen into the
water and it nearly resulted in my own death. However, after fighting for
my life and finally reaching dry land, I was a new man. I knew that I had
reached a spiritual turning point. God had let me live!"

Questions:What do you think about
certain doctors who have seen miracles with their own eyes and still
refuse to believe?

Answers:"I have met people who have had their healing
confirmed by many people and who afterwards went to various doctors to
demonstrate their hea5;ng only to be rejected. I must assume that these
doctors are totally blind to God's existence..

This
is not however a problem peculiar to medical science; you know as well as
I do that many ministers, preachers and priests; are just as blind to the
message of divine heating."

Questions:Doctor, do you often
speak to your patients about faith in Jesus Christ?

Answers:"I always do so when I feel so guided. When you
know that, medically speaking, there is no cure possible then - at least
this is how it is for me - you can only speak a positive word, the Word of
God.

"I
have personally led several people who were ill to the through inner
tensions to the Lord. Only He, Jesus Christ, can give that desperately
needed rest."

Questions:Do you think that later
a medical cure may be found for certain illnesses which can now only be
cured by a miracle?

Answers:"If I think of cancer, I know that man is hard
at work to find a cure. This is the prediction and hope of everyone
working in that field. However they have not yet found a cure. And should
a medical cure be found there will still be other incurable
illnessesÖ"

Questions:Finally doctor, do you
consider that personal faith in Jesus Christ is of importance to science?

Answers:"Very important!! You know that science has
gone out on a limb in believing that man is descended from apes. Science
is still trying to find the missing link!! The friction between faith and
science is that when man comes to faith he can no longer accept such
theories as that of evolution.

"Faith
in Jesus Christ is of the utmost importance for all, including those
engaged in the pursuit of scientific knowledge."
